I would like to start out by saying that before buying this dress - I was you. I was the girl looking through ALL the reviews on pretty much all the dresses I was interested in to see if I could find and negative ones. But by the time you get to mine you will realize that most of them are very positive- including this one. This dress is everything I hoped it would be- it is gorgeous! Like most people on here I was really hesitant about buying a dress online. I literally had this dress in my shopping cart for 2 months before I actually bought it. I really hope this review tips the scales for some of you and you don't end up spending stupid amounts of money on a wedding dress
